Description

Introducing the Sony Alpha 9 III - Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera, a groundbreaking innovation engineered to redefine the capabilities of professional photography and videography. At its core lies the world's first full-frame global shutter image sensor, a revolutionary technological leap that eliminates rolling shutter distortion, flash banding, and provides blackout-free shooting at unprecedented speeds. This ensures every pixel is captured simultaneously, delivering pristine image integrity and allowing flash synchronization at any shutter speed, up to an astounding 1/80000 second.

Read Full Description

Designed for speed without compromise, the Sony Alpha 9 III empowers professionals with continuous shooting at a blistering 120 frames per second with full AF/AE tracking. Its advanced Fast Hybrid AF system leverages 759 phase-detection points for stills and 627 for movies, covering a vast area of the sensor. Powered by AI processing, Real-time Recognition AF accurately tracks humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes with unparalleled precision, even in challenging light conditions down to EV-5. Complementing this speed is an 8.0-stop in-body optical image stabilization system, ensuring sharp, steady results whether shooting handheld or in dynamic environments.

The Alpha 9 III doesn't just excel in stills; it's a formidable tool for cinematic production. It captures stunning 4K video, supporting high-bitrate codecs and offering features like slow motion, proxy recording, and external RAW output via HDMI. Professional audio is supported with LPCM 4-channel, 24-bit recording and dedicated mic/headphone jacks. Ergonomically, its high-resolution 9.43 million-dot EVF offers a 240fps refresh rate for a fluid, lag-free viewing experience, while the 3.2-inch multi-angle articulating touchscreen provides intuitive control and versatile shooting perspectives. Dual CFexpress Type A/SD slots ensure robust and fast media handling.

Built for the demands of the field, the Sony Alpha 9 III - Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera features robust connectivity options including 1000BASE-T Ethernet, Wi-Fi (802.11ac), and Bluetooth 5.0 for seamless workflow integration and remote operation.
